I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that by the time I've gotten around to updating you on the progress of the Limoncello Project, it's been packaged, gifted, and long consumed! Needless to say, the Limoncello Project was a huge hit and one that we will be reproducing in very short order. A few things we learned:
- Double recipes are key. Let's face it, one bottle of vodka just ain't going that far when you package it in cute little 9 ounce bottles.
- The longer the limoncello sits, the mellower it gets. This goes for both in the steeping process and post-filter.
- This is a process we'll be trying in several other processes. A few ideas to get you going: coffee beans and vanilla beans, or perhaps rosemary?
This was a fantastic gift which sadly we just didn't have enough to give. I'm unsure how necessary the initial filtering of the vodka was so we'll be testing a new batch to see if we can skip that part using fairly decent vodka (with grain alcohol I'm quite sure you simply don't have an option). The filtering after the steeping process is absolutely essential and transforms a quite frankly rather funky concoction to a delightfully clear and delicious treat.
We are embarking on Limoncello 2013 this weekend... And I promise to give better posts this time on the finished product.
